Funniest sales pitch
KP: I don't quite think that this is a marketing approach i want to take. Something about me supposedly being a groupie and the imagery that this would conjure up for most folks leaves a bad taste in my mouth... : ) Maybe i should do like the Clin... 
Funniest sales pitch
His originality in marketing paid off in a big way too. He was able to get $3500 for that used wedding dress. I wonder what i could get for some of my old socks and underwear if i were to come up with a creative story??? Should i try it here or on... 
FM Antenna positioning question
Call up the station and ask for one of the station engineers. Find out what polarization their antenna is running on. Many stations have gone to circular polarization, which is a hybrid of vertical and horizontal. They do this because most TV / FM... 
Funniest sales pitch
Jtinn: I agree. That one may take the cake : ) Sean> 
Free air resonance?
Like i said in my second post in this thread...... Sean> 
Funniest sales pitch
"The XXXX's are one of finest components that money can buy". Well, if that's the case, why are you replacing it and what did you buy to replace it??? Let me know so that i don't make the same mistake that you did : ) Sean> 
REL Q108E, strange review, somewhat confused.
There's a difference between adding "bass weight" and "adding bass extension". It would appear that the Rel is more suited to adding "weight" to speakers that may suffer from a lack of output on the bottom end. In effect, the REL may not really be... 
decent beginner amplifier rec's
You can find suitable amps for $30 at Target or spend thousands of dollars at a local dealer. If you can give us a better idea of what you're looking, the physical size desired, how often it will be used, are there thermal restrictions involved, w... 
Free air resonance?
I agree with all of the comments made above : )Greg and Joe are right on the money regarding avoiding driver resonance. The further away from resonance that you can get, the better off you are.Gs is also right on the money. He points out factors t... 
Please help me get my missing frequencies
It sounds like you've got an adjustable "rumble" filter along with a variable subwoofer crossover. If that is the case, you should be running the LP filter as low as possible or just below the point of tuning if your speakers are vented ( port, pa... 
Why do digital cables sound different?
Red: I've heard very similar sonic traits when using certain analogue cables as digital cables. Since the impedances between transport to DAC would normally be very different from DAC to preamp, another line level source to preamp or preamp to amp... 
Starting a website...need AR Turtable info
I'm quite certain that i have paperwork for the AR model made in the early 80's called "The Turntable". I'll dig up what i have within the next few days and get back to you. That is, if you're interested in the newer models and not just the old cl... 
Room EQ: When new is Expensive, Old will do
Digital room correction can be a real can of worms, especially with the various units available. If you are on a budget and want to see what one can do with something like this, you can always try the Behringer units. While i know that they make a... 
Free air resonance?
Sorry i didn't get back to you on this via email Mitch. It's been one of those weekends for me....A tweeter with a measurably lower Fs can typically use a shallower crossover slope and / or be crossed over lower without as much of a problem. In or... 
How important is a flat response?
Lrsky's comments are valid, but somewhat limited in scope. What he and may others run into is called dynamic compression. That is, the output did not match the input except for a limited spl range. This type of phenomena can take place with the en...
